Call for Papers

The next issue of The Journal of History & Culture (JHC) will focus on the relevance of culture, preservation, sustainability and pedagogy in architectural education. JHC seeks to explore a multitude of themes through a discussion about pedagogy. What role does education play within current pedagogy, professional practice, and knowledge? What is the value of heritage? How do we educate future practitioners, and what are the projects that may serve as paradigms and why?

JHC is a peer-reviewed publication for exploring issues related to African American, Latino, Hispanic, Native American and other Diaspora communities. Submissions that stretch and challenge the disciplinary boundaries of architecture and community development will be considered for publication. Contributions from all fields of scholarship are welcome. We invite submissions on the following topics with the aim of cultivating a broad readership and interactive academic network.

Architecture, Diversity & Culture

Sustainability & Heritage preservation

Typologies of Black Architecture

Freedmen’s Communities

Architecture & Pedagogy at HBCU Institutions
